8462.59.00.50 - Other

This category, HTS 8462.59.00.50, encompasses "Other" machines for working tube, pipe, hollow section, and bar, excluding presses, that are not specifically classified under other subheadings. It covers a broad range of metalworking machinery designed for operations like bending, folding, straightening, flattening, shearing, punching, notching, or nibbling on these specific forms of metal. The focus is on machines whose primary function is to alter the shape or dimensions of tubes, pipes, hollow sections, and bars, and which do not fall under the "used or rebuilt" or "valued under $3,025 each" classifications.

This subheading distinguishes itself from sibling categories by covering new machines that do not fit the criteria for used or rebuilt equipment, nor are they subject to the lower value threshold of 8462.59.00.20. Therefore, this "Other" category acts as a residual for new, full-value machines within this specific scope of tube, pipe, hollow section, and bar working equipment.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification into this specific HTS code relies on the machine's intended use, its operational capabilities on the specified metal forms, and its status as new and not specifically defined elsewhere within the 8462.59.00.xx range. Examples of machinery that might fall here include specialized bending machines for tubes that are not presses, or automatic cutting and notching machines for hollow sections.
